Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Wonderful Reasons Why Pear(Nashpati) Should Be Your Favourite Fruit?

Skin benefits

According to nutritionist Priya Kathpal, most of the benefits of pear come from its skin. This is because the skin contains 3-4 times more phytonutrients as compared to the flesh. Phytonutrients are responsible for boosting our immunity and research shows that they also reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.

Full of fibre

A single pear can fulfil 24% of your daily fibre requirement. Fibre is extremely important for our digestive system. The fibre in pear not only keeps the digestive tract healthy but according to research, it helps reduce cholesterol levels, reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and even Type II diabetes.

Reduces hunger pangs

If you want to keep your hunger pangs at bay in a healthy way, bite into a juicy pear. The fibre content in it will help keep you satiated for a longer time. Along with fibre, pear also has vitamin C and traces of iron and magnesium in it.

Can be eaten by everyone

Unlike some fruits which may be restricted for people suffering from a health condition, pear is one such fruit which can be eaten by anyone. In fact, it is one of the first fruits which can be introduced to infants in a pureed form. Also, people suffering from diabetes, obesity, and other lifestyle issues can also eat pear without any health concerns. ‘The fruit is not acidic unlike lemon or orange and can be digested easily. Pears are hypoallergenic, they have shown very low allergy symptoms compared to other fruits so they are hardly ever eliminated from anyone’s diet but the best time to eat them is in the morning,’ says Priya.

Healthy, natural dose of sugar

Pear contains Levulose, a natural form of sugar which is a lot healthier than natural sugars. This makes it an easy pick-me-up when you are craving for something sweet. Instead of eating candies, etc take the natural route by eating a pear instead. It won’t raise your blood sugar levels as well.
